Now on view at NYPL! Discover the freewheeling world of radicals, reformers, writers, and artists who gathered in Greenwich Village in the 1910s in this all-new exhibition. Lured from across the U.S. and Europe by the promise of inexpensive housing and a permissive atmosphere, these groundbreakers and iconoclasts shared an urge to upend artistic, social, and political conventions. Now, drawing on NYPL's extensive collections, "Becoming Bohemia" explores the key players, events, and works that defined America's first large-scale countercultural enclave.
